Imagine a catalyst so small that its active ingredient is a single atom, isolated and anchored to a surface like a jewel in a ...

Photocatalysis has long promised a double dividend: using nothing but sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into useful chemical ...

To remove micropollutants such as pesticides and trace chemicals from the environment, you need something equally small and cunning. One potential method is photocatalysis, which uses semiconducting ...

Generation of hydrogen (H₂) by means of photocatalysis has been at the forefront of research since the 1970s because it can potentially fulfill the demand for this green fuel by employing abundant ...

Ishikawa, Japan-- Photocatalysis—a chemical reaction driven by light in the presence of a photocatalyst—is poised to play a key role in next-generation technologies, including hydrogen production ...

Single-atom photocatalysis harnesses the unique properties of isolated metal atoms anchored on semiconductor supports to drive light‐induced chemical transformations with unparalleled atom efficiency.
